This song is my perception of figuring it out. When you’ve exhausted all of your options with someone and your only option is to move on. It’s mentally preparing yourself to give up on them, when you don’t want to, but you know you have to. -GB
lyrics
I have to move forward / and make anew / I’ve done all I can do / I’ve tried to take you / I’ve tried to break you / and I’ve tried to make you choose / and I’m starting to realize / when I look into your eyes / that love can be so cruel / CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / AND I CAN’T HAVE YOU
I took you out to dinner / and that was grand / and in my bed / you can only imagine / the things I could do / when I’m with you girl / the skies are always blue / but the sunset has come and gone / the leafs fallen / the weapons drawn / point and fire at me / CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / BUT YOU KNOW I’M THE ENEMY
But this love that I feel / it’s unbearably real / and bury it I can’t / YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT / YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / AND I’LL TRY NOT TO SHOW THAT / I have to move forward / make anew / and I have to get over you.
